BenQ G2420HDBL monitor with th2go - anyone have it?

Thinking of purchasing 3 BenQ G2420HDBL LCD LED 24" DVI monitors for my th2go digital.

The g2420hd model is stated to do 57hz in the monitor list so I suppose this model will too, but I would like to be sure.

Anyone have this model on a th2go setup?

If so:

Can it produce 5040x1050 @ 57HZ?
What about 59hz?
Are you happy with the picture quality and response time [5ms on this model]?
Would you recommend it?

thanks!

Wasn't able to dig up

Wasn't able to dig up anything specifically on that model, but I will offer up my experience with BenQ so you have at least something to go off of.

I use 3x BenQ FP202W V3 20-inch displays with a Matrox TH2G. The displays do both 57/59 refresh rates and I haven't had any complaints about them, either in regards to quality or response. I did buy them refurbished and had to RMA 2 of the 3 displays since DVI wasn't working correctly, so I will advise caution if you are not buying them new. I have used BenQ for a long time even before moving into triple-display gaming. Their stuff is rock-solid.

About all I got, sadly. Digging around on Google didn't yield up much specifically on that display you're looking at.

Thanks very much for your

Thanks very much for your answer.

I've ordered at what is a good price in the UK [$180 each equivalent] :)

Even if 57Hz is a bust, you

Even if 57Hz is a bust, you should be able to get it to run at 59Hz without a hitch.

I have a BenQ G2420HDBL LCD LED 24" DVI monitor in my possession now. For anyone who'd like to know:

Tested & Working:

1680 x 1050 x 32bit - 57 hz

1920 x 1080 x 32bit - 50 hz

59hz would not work, but perhaps this is my drivers etc.

I'll have 3 of them in a few days and will be able to report on the surround resolutions and refresh rates for TH2GO Digital.
